Navalny tells court he looks like a 'creepy skeleton', as he faces new charges

Sky, 30 Apr 2021
Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny has appeared in public for the first time since going on hunger strike - via video link during a court hearing.

The 44-year-old told the court he looks like a 'creepy skeleton' and described Russian President Vladimir Putin as the 'naked king' as he appealed against his fine for slandering a 94-year-old Second World War veteran.

The Moscow court rejected the Russian opposition leader's appeal and upheld his conviction.
